[eclipse.org-planning-council] Translation word count estimates for Europa, for example


And, no, I don't mean Europe in this case :)

As part of the planning-council meeting last week, some participants were wondering what the magnitude of the Eclipse translations have been.
I agreed to provide some numbers, from our IBM experts that have been involved in this work in the past and have some estimates for Europa.

Keep in mind the following are only estimates, just to illustrate the relative sizes of the projects and efforts involved.
Plus, don't forget, there are many "multipliers" in the whole process. First, there's the
languages themselves ... 23 languages for Callisto. And, there are many efforts besides translating, per se. A number of
"verification" and "test" phases to be sure all is correctly translated and correctly displayed (and the quality of Eclipse maintained).

Hope this aides your planning efforts and the call for Friday.

The following Europa projects had been translated in Callisto. Only a delta translation is needed. Just to give you an idea of the size of the projects, some whole project word counts are also listed.
